Dumb it down for me?

I'm a gullible dumbass.

I don't believe that.

I think you're just a victim of human nature.

In for a penny, in for a pound. I know several Trumpsters like you. It's difficult to admit that you made a mistake. It's even more difficult to admit that YOU contributed to this fuckery directly, by being short-sighted and consumed by emotion.

You're invested. For better or worse...and you aren't woman enought to admit that you fucked up.

I figured most by now have just learned to ignore Alpha. Outside of the Hockey thread, Alpha hasn't made an intelligible contribution in years. Alpha comes in between 2-4 am, ignores context, and finds the a post to latch on for a drunken rant.

First...I found about 5 or so threads to rant about.

I come in around 2-4 am because I'm a bartender and that's when I get off work. If I'm in earlier (like now), it's because I'm off and/or HAMMERED (like now).

It's easy to ignore things that make you uncomfortable. I used to try to engage people like you; with civilty and reason.

That's kind of pointless...hell...we've all seen your posts. You aren't exactly curing cancer anytime soon. You're a sheep. A follower without much original thought and/or opinion other than what you've been told to believe.

So...come up with something clever, monkey or stay in your mom's basement and continue to be they keyboard warrior you've always been.

Don't worry...it happens to a lot of braods your age.

Babe, I found the board sexist for you. Unfortunately, he didn't vote for Trump, so there isn't anything we can do to prosecute him.

“Despite the mainstream media hair-on-fire headlines last week, President Donald Trump is enjoying his highest approval rating of all time, according to a Sunday poll from The Wall Street Journal and NBC News.”

Saw the news on approval rating going up. I was honestly surprised. I thought it would drop, but it seems to be on the rise. 88% among republicans means he has his base solidified. The 40% among independents, though, is what he needs to work on. He's going to have to keep that 88% number and get his independent approval closer to 50% in order to be re-elected. I would still put his chances right now around 50/50 of winning re-election, which is pretty much onboard with what Vegas thinks. Of course, that's assuming he doesn't land himself in any legal trouble. Mueller could destroy his Presidency.

Funny part about all of this while Trump blasts the enemy to kingdom come, they are helping his re-election efforts, which may be Trump’s plan. So many in this country hate the media, so the more they pick on him, the more people are likely to rally to Trump. Kind of strange, but if CNN wants Trump out, they may have to play reverse psychology.

Kicking Trump out of office (or any incumbent for that matter) is no easy prospect. And with Trump there's an interesting dynamic.

Trump never, ever, ever plays defense. No matter how specific or damning the attack on him is, he either brushes it off with a quip, or redirects with another attack. You just can't hit him head on because his absurd reply or counter attack will be more memorable than what you hit him with for starters.

"Wrong"

"Nasty woman"

"Because you'd be in jail"

"Blood coming out of her...wherever."

It's the evil genius of Roger Stone. The media is programmed to go for the soundbyte and Stone trained Trump to be a soundbyte machine. Trump himself is very media savvy and they play right into his hands with the absurdity of the day leading the news. The fact that Trump is a shitty President in virtually every metric becomes irrelevant because you're never going to get him to admit a mistake, and if you do, he just turns it into an attack. Fatigue with this tactic is the only thing I see working right now.

2020 is not going to be easy for any "polished" politician. Trump is not going to Gaffe himself out of office like Bush 41 because political gaffes are his modus operandi every. single. day.

Debating policy with him is worthless because he's going to make **** up about how great he's doing and dare his opponent to beat his strawman. When they don't take the bait, he bangs away with it as if it were confirmed to be true.

I think at this point the best strategy for whomever the opposing candidate is would be to completely ignore Donald Trump like the little brat he is. Resist the temptation to give attention to the bratty kid screaming and stay on message (Economy, jobs, healthcare, etc). The reason why is that everybody knows who DT is and how he goes about his day. You declare Donald Trump the worst President ever and the public says "tell me something I don't know". Once you start attacking him, you're playing his game, you're off message, and he'll beat you with experience.

Give the people something new to chew on and they just might sour on what they've been getting force fed for the last 4 years.
